After I take down Team Alderman for the second week in a row, I fully expect for Pops Alderman to have a team in the league. :lol:

I have a 20 year old scar from a switch...I was 7 and I thought it was a good idea to talk back to grandma...she didn't say a word...before I knew it I was begging for forgiveness...
If it was just a whipping/spanking....this should blow over, if it was more...yikes.

For some reason it won't let me post pictures. I'm all for disciplining your child, but once you see the pictures it seems pretty excessive (especially on a 4 year old).

Peterson had a speedy recovery a couple of years ago from an injury. Anytime an athlete recoveries quickly, I suspect PEDs. This either sounds like roid rage from PEDs or Peterson is a sadist.
Roger Goodell should throw Adrian Peterson out of the NFL for the Vikings RB's alleged acts of child abuse
This might be the worst week in the history of the NFL, with another despicable act by a privileged player taking Roger Goodell’s league to an unfathomable low.
Could it get any worse than the elevator video that surfaced Monday of Ray Rice knocking out Janay Palmer with a vicious punch to the face? Apparently it can with the indictment Friday of Vikings superstar running back Adrian Peterson, one of the faces of the NFL, for injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him with a tree branch in May after removing the leaves. A warrant has been issued for Peterson’s arrest.
Goodell can begin to make up for his mishandling of the Rice case by immediately suspending Peterson for the season and then throwing him out of the league. Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, issued a statement saying Peterson used the same type of discipline on his son that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas, as if that condones pulling the boy’s pants down and inflicting cuts and bruises doctors found all over the little boy’s body.
It’s barbaric.
The personal conduct policy does not require a conviction in order for Goodell to impose discipline. One of the circumstances that allows Goodell to punish Peterson is “conduct that imposes inherent danger to the safety and well-being of another person.â€
The Vikings at least deserve credit for doing the right thing and deactivating Peterson for Sunday’s home opener against the Patriots, which pretty much eliminates any chance they had to win the game. They value common decency over winning. If Goodell doesn’t suspend Peterson, the Vikings should deactivate him every week.
The Panthers and 49ers have been criticized for how they’ve handled behavior by their players. Carolina’s Greg Hardy, who is appealing his domestic violence conviction, and San Francisco’s Ray McDonald, arrested for domestic violence last month just three days after Goodell toughened up the discipline in the personal conduct policy, each started in his season opener last week, and unless their teams suddenly get a conscience, they will start again Sunday.
Goodell, the embattled commissioner, should call an emergency midweek timeout, summon every player in the NFL to Chicago or Dallas on Tuesday, the players’ day off, and hold a seminar with lectures by experts in anger management, domestic violence, child abuse, drug abuse and every other abuse their players are capable of performing. Then Goodell should emphasize that it’s a privilege, not a right, to play in the league.
David Goldman/APRoger Goodell can start saving himself from the Ray Rice fiasco by suspending Peterson for the season and tossing him out of the NFL.
Peterson, the 2012 NFL MVP, was a sympathetic figure last year, when his 2-year-old son, who he found out only two months earlier was his, was allegedly beaten and killed in South Dakota by a man who was dating the boy’s mother.
Peterson was indicted on charges of reckless or negligent injury. Houston radio station Sports Radio 610, citing law enforcement sources, said Peterson referred to the incident as a “whooping.†It happened in Spring, Tex., in May, and reportedly was punishment for his son pushing another one of Peterson’s kids off a motorbike video game.
Peterson reportedly called the tree branch a “switch,†and the boy suffered bruises to his back, buttocks, ankles, legs and scrotum and defensive wounds to his hands. The boy was visiting Peterson in Texas and lives with his mother in Minnesota.
According to police reports, the child told authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.†He also said he had been hit with a belt and “there are lots of belts in Daddy’s closet.â€
The radio station reported that in an interview with police, Peterson appeared to believe he did nothing wrong. “Anytime I spank my kids, I talk to them before, let them know what they did, and of course after,†he said. Reportedly, Peterson regretted his son did not cry because he then would have known the switch had done more damage than intended.
How can anybody ever look at Peterson the same? How can Goodell let him back on the field?
Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesPeterson should not play another down in the NFL after hitting his 4-year-old son with a tree branch.
Peterson does not deny hitting his son in the police report. Regardless of how he was brought up, and whatever discipline he might have gone through as a kid, it does not condone what he allegedly did to his son. He said he never would have let the child get back on the plane to Minnesota, knowing he had a doctor’s appointment, if he felt he did anything wrong.
“To be honest with you, I feel very confident with my actions because I know my intent,†he said.
He said he loves all his kids. The doctor said the injuries were consistent with child abuse.
We know Peterson is a great player. But what kind of man is he?
Rice hit his fiancée who is now his wife. Peterson beat his child.
The NFL can’t go any lower.
Goodell should suspend Peterson and then throw him out of the league.

I saw the pictures yesterday. I was spanked/whipped growing up and I never saw a problem with that form of discipline. I don't have a problem with people who choose to use that form of discipline with their kids. But there's a definite line that no parents should cross and after seeing the pictures...I'd be hard pressed to say that Adrian didn't cross that line.
The problem with NFL players hitting women, children, and other men who are not in their size/strength category, is their size and strength. I was also spanked with a belt and a switch, but I never had more than a pale red mark from the belt or switch. It never lasted more than a day. I don't think I ever received more than 3 licks. If it was a switch, it was a little green end to a branch, with the leaves off and extensions off.
How could he strike that child with enough force for the switch to wrap around the child? I promise that no psychological damage was done in my case, in fact, I didn't even spank my kids. Luckily, I didn't need to. Other methods worked just fine.
I'm not certain that kicking him out of the NFL is the answer in Peterson's case. Doesn't that punish his kids as much as it does him? What about a long suspension, accompanied by parenting classes. Possibly a year. I don't know if that would be constructive, but he sounds ignorant, not particularly violent.

I said this on another site and I'll say it here - I cannot think of a single reason for a full grown adult to physically assault a child. Spanking, slapping, pinching, thumping, jerking, throwing, slinging - is assault. The only reason an adult does this is because the adult was not afraid of equal retaliation. In other scenarios, we would call this bullying.
I will say again - children are not property. Adults do not own them, but they are responsible for them. Responsibility does not entail physical, OR MENTAL, assault. That is simply brutality and, yes, cruelty.
The details I have read about Peterson is that he lashed this virtual baby (he was 4 years old) with a switch. Violent enough to leave the child with bloody lash marks - including on his scrotum.
I defy any sane person on this board to rationalize this as justified.

Agree with everything you said, expect the part about Peterson not being particularly violent. A person doesn't beat a four year old like that without being very violent. Of course he going to play the just a parent disciplining his child card when the child has cuts and bruises like that.
What makes this even more disgusting is the fact that Peterson had a two year son that was killed by a man that abused him.
